AOLEAI QUIS DICERS FALSUM AUDE AT ? L V N D 0 A, MONDAY, JULY 16, 1810. Two Lisbon Mails have arrived, by which we hive received Papers and Letters to a late date, Government have received dispatches from Lord WELLINGTON, dated the 27th ult. No moven - kilts of any isn'portance have taken pl since the last ac counts, except that the enemy have been enabled, by the great reinforcements which they have re ceived to commence tLe siege of Cindad Roderigo. Their advances however are but slow ; the place it 7 self, though not a regular modern fortification, is vrong, the garrison "is numerous, the inhabitants eager to emulate the heroic conduct of their country men at Saragossa anti Guroni, the place is well svi4ied with provisions, and finally, Lord WEL LINGTON is in the neighbourhood, with the united British and Portuguese Army. We are sorry :to have occasion again to men:ion that the‘Poruguese Papers continue to - state the numbers of the British . Army ais considerably higher than it is in point of fact. Indeed souse of the. private Letters contain the , same erroneous statements respecting the num ber of our troops. Our Army is represened in these Papers as amounting to 36,000 men, whereas the whole of the British troops under Lord WELLING TON dogs not exceed 25,000 men. We are the Alore anxious to correct th , ,,lsemis-statements, because they are c Lulated to excite expect - Ai ions which can not• be realized, and in the e% cut of a battle, to dimi nish the glury which we are sure our Army will obtain, by inducing a belief that it is much more than it really is. The total of the allied force on the fiontiers of Portugal amounts to rather more than .50,000 men. Of MASSENA'S Army it is difficult to speak with any precision, it consists of the dirsisions 01 Nay, JUNOT, ;Inn ItEGN/ER, and it is supposed to amount to about 85,000 men, viz : NcY's division 31,000, JUNOT'S 25,000, REGNIEE'S 16,000 and about 13;000 men which MAssENA brought with him from FrattLe. The other French force in Spain is eStilllaltd as follows : it is supposed that there are With MACDON'ALD in Catalonia, 17,000, with Vic- Toil, at Cadiz, 16,000 ; with SUCHET, in Arragon, ta,oot); with SEBASTIAN!, in Grenada, 16,000; with MOUTIER, in Seville, 8000 ; at Madrid, La 'Mancha, &c. 17,000 making a total of 175,000 men. „Et is also believed that a fresh reiniurcerneiA 9f upwards of 20,n00 men has arrived from Fiance, which will make the French l'orce in Spain Heady . 2 00 , 0 0 men. It is hoWever to bc recollected, that this force is daily diminished by desertion, as it is in a great degr,e composed of foreign troops, and by the desultory but destructive mode of warfare car- ried on by the Spaniards. We are happy to find that the national ardour of the Spaniards seems to in- crease with the difficulties which surround therrt.— From Cadiz tlje intelligence is not very important the French have not yet ventured to make any se- riuus attempt. Great expectations are formed from the division under General LACEY, which it is said, ;s to be supporied'by a vigorous sortie by all the Clis. po,ahle force in the garrison. Cadiz is abundantly stipplied with provisions. The Irish Government have come to a determi nation to afford a considerable pecuniary assistance to the traders and inanuldaurers of Dublin, and we trust this prurupt relief will produce the desired ef fect. The fullowing notice was given in the Dublin Gazette: Extraordinary of the Ilth : DUi3LIN GAZETTE EX . I RAORDINARY.

DRESDEN, JUNE 2l.—We expel} here on the • . 25 t h her Majesty the Empress of Austria, and oti- the following day their Majesties the King and Queen of Westphalia. On the 2d of July these illustrious personages will go to Pilnitz. We now flatter our selves with the hope of long possessing among us our beloved Monarch. The Government is still oc cupied with the new organization of the military. We do not kilow whether the camp which was talked of for the spring in the environs of Dresden, will a&ually take place. Our fortifications are in part demolished, and we believe the, work will be far ad- Vanced, if not finished, before winter. PETEREURGU, JUNE U.—His Ma . frsty the Em peror set out on the 28:h May for TALI - . The Monarch arrived the same day at Novogorod. The Court has gone into motnning for a.tiittnight, in consequence of (he 'decease of the Prince Itoydl of Sweden. BOTZ EN, Jun 20.—The line of demarcation be tween the kingdom Of Italy and that of Bavaria is at last 'filially settled, as far as relates to the fixing of limits. We have no other Bavarian Commissioner here than General RAGLORVICkI. The Engineers of the two Governments left this on' the 1 8 thiune, to fix and mark 'upon the different places for bound. dailes. They are Lieutenants PAGONI and BR EN- , N 4, and the Geographical Engineer FILIP• PIN E; on the part of Italy, arid Captain OSTER HUBER and Lieutenants GREMMUSEN and HOERMA N j on that of Bavaria. Captain VISCONTI and the ISeographical Bavarian Engineer remain here to direct the operations, which must be terminated in four or five weeks. The Counsellor of State, SMAN• CINI, passed 'this place last week. AUGSBORG, J UNE 28.—L et t ers rece i ved here from `several parts of Italy state, that the English ship of - the line, frigate, and other vessels of war, have en tirely quitted the stations which they occupied in the Mediterranean, and that the grand English fleet, which has been stationed for several'months near the island of Minorca, has left it, and sailed to the East• We believe that this fleet, which is now command ed by Admiral COTTON, is gone to Sicily, and that it is in the vicinity of that Island. The English are at present concentrating the forces they have.in the Mediterranean. The same Letters inform us, that the commerce upon the coasts of the Mediterranean has again be come extremely . hrisk,:and that the English cruizers who so much disturbed it, have entirely disap peared. GOTTENEURGH, JUNE 20.-•-• Mr. FOSTER, Envoy at the Court of Stockholm, has arrived here on his return for England. The COM ill un icat ions of posts between Sweden and the British Isles is entirely intercepted. AuroNA, JUNE 18.—We are assured that a con vention for the exchange of all Danish prisoners of War in England, and vice versa, is upon the point of being signed. Government has lengthened the per mission for the exportation of grain from the du chies of Schieswer and Holstein. It is likely that it will not again be forbidden. We are convinced by experience that Government has means less hurtful in its power to pteserve in the country the necessary quantities for extraordi nary Circumstances. l'he interior commerce and the business in our ports is doubled, though the ap pearance of the harvest is very doubtful. CONSTANT! NOPLR, MAY 113.--'--The measures which Government recently adopted to maintain the tran quility of this Capital have been attended by the most happy result. Many of the incendiaries have already been arrested and executed ; others 'have left the town and concealed themselves. A great number have been banished, so that we may now hope that the capital will soon be purged of the greatest part of the mutineers. The efforts of Porte to es►ablish order and tranquility in the Pro vinces, in order to employ all its forces against exterior enemies, have not been attended with si .milar success. We are assured that the Russians are making dispositions for passing the Danube, near its mouth, and that their army is assembling in the environs of Silistria. It is at least certain that the Grand Seignior has lately ordered the Caimaken, by a particular rescript, to send re inforcements and money to the camp of the Grand Vizier. The Grand Seignior now oc• cupies, with all his Court, the summer resideuce of Beschiklac. Previous to his departure, he took measures for succouring a great number of families, • who, in consequence of the late fire, were without asylums. He has Nice permuted every Mussulman avail themselves of such ail may make their alai 11. canon to the Gentlemen above named accordingly. By his Grace's Command,• We this morning received French and German Paiers, the former to the wth inst. and the latter to the 7th, from which we have made the following extrad, . to receive into his house these unfortunates, what ever:: be the difference of tacit - relig;on. According to the last news from Wallachia, titled the 23th May, the Russian head-quarters had been removed from the Danube to Hersowa. The Turks on their part were making preparations'for'opposing the passage of the RUssian army, and stopping their progress. • SCILLA, JUNE 16.—The enemy has attempted nothing for some days either ag.iiiist Scilla or Bag ; nara ; they merely amuse theuiselveS• with cannon ading, without any effect, every filing which passes from La Terre, del Cavallo. and the Punta del Pezzp- r A brig and p Goletta were not , more for_ tunate in an attempt 'they wished to make, ou the 12th, before St. Lucid°, on a :convoy commanded .be Lieut. MONTEMAJUR j they were forced to re the without doing any injury to the convoy or to the six gun-boats which escorted it. We are infornied that for the last three days, they have been upon the alert. at Messina, in Conse quence of the reports of some Cannon which were heard upon the shore. The report of a disembarkation quickly spread itself in the town. The alartn became - general. The same right an officer and 2 English soldiers were assassinated.

PARIS JULY 8. .One of our Newspapers contains the, following articl from _Bayonne, .of the .t?gth .oflist month. The most recent account:• from Spain -state, that the military operations against Portug:d appear to be carried on with great vigour, and consi(!erable pre parations are made for the siege of Ciudad Rodrigo• The. English army is threatened with an attack by the Prince of ESSLING (Massena) who has now concentrated his Whole force, and is daily receiting reinforcements. Three military. roads have now been construded frorn the French frontiers to the. interior of Spain; .one by Tortola, Painpelona, and Saragossa, to the army of Arragon ; the second by Vittoria, Burgos, Valladolid, and Salamanca, to the army of Portugal; and the third by Lerma, Arunda, and Somosierra, to Madrid. • The corps of observation which covers the siege of of Cadiz, have driven the insurgents back to the mountains. Andalusia is quiet, the greatest part of Estramadura is occupied by the French, who are also making preparations for - the siege of the important fortress of Badajoz.—ln Toulon, a ship of 120 guns has lately been launched, it is called, Wagram. A Gentleman who arrived at Falmouth lately from France, in a cartel, says, that he saw Mr. MAC.. KENZIE at Morlaix on the 25th ult, and that that Gentleman told him that the difficulties which had hitherto stood in the way of an arrangement for the exchange of prisoners had been all removed. We should be happy to have it in our power to confirm this statement, but. it is, we know, Considerably exaggerated. We must Leg to refer our Readers to what we said upon this subjed on Thursday last. The Gentleman to whom we have alluded was lately at Brest : he'says that there are at present on l y one line-of-battle ship and three frigates in the harbour, and one 74 gun ship just launched. Pi ()- visions, particularly bread, are nominally cheaper, but in fad much dearer than in England, for rhe stagnation of trade is so great, that the labouring classes of the community are mostly unemployed, and the wages of the few that are employed are so law, thatithey can scarcely subsist. Colonial pro duce is extremely dear —common brown sugar is from 3s. to 3s. 6d. a pound, and otther articles pro portionately dear. Yesterday morning his MA4 ESTI', Princesses AU GUSTA and SOPHIA, accompanied by Lady COLL YER, Marchioness of BATH and daughter, Mrs. DAMER, General GARTH, 'and Colonel DEsBRow, rode to St. George's Chapel, and heard Divine Service.— The Royal Party afterwards returned to the Palace. Princess AMELIA continues to mend. Among the presents sent by the QUEEN to the Emperor of PERSIA, is a large colleation of modern upholstery and cabinet goods. The Duke of CUMBERLAND has experienced con siderable inconvenience, as well as pain, from the late attack, having been deprived of the use of his hands till last Thursday, When he was able to feed himself. His Royal Highness's apartments in St. James's Palace are, we understand, to have material alteration made in them, previous to his return to reside there. The Duke of SUSSEX, and others of the 11OyaI Family, are expedted to view the launch of the Royal Charlotte, to-morrow, at Deptford. Letters have reached us from the Havanna!), to the recent date of the 3d of June. The Settlement was still faithful to the parent State. The import duties there had been thus arranged :—Oa articles of luxury, 34 per cent. ; on those of necessity, 15 per cent.; on flour, the old duty of 31 dollars ; lumber, free; Spanish goods in Spanish vessels, free. The Commercial Treaty with the Prince Regent of Portugal, though finally concluded, has not yet been published.
